4. ABSTRACT
In this paper, a system is introduced to manage waste in big cities effectively without
having to monitor the parts 24x7 manually. Here the problem of unorganized and
non-systematic waste collection is solved by designing an embedded IoT system that
will monitor each dumpster individually for the amount of waste deposited. Here an
automated system is provided for segregating wet and dry waste. A mechanical setup
can be used for separating the wet and dry waste into separate containers here
sensors can be used for separating wet and dry. For detecting the presence of any
waste wet or dry can be detected using an IR sensor in the next step for detecting wet
waste a moister sensor can be used. In this process, if only IR is detected motor will
rotate in the direction of the dry waste container if both the sensor detects the waste
then it will go to the wet container. Both these containers are embedded with
ultrasonic sensors at the top, the ultrasonic sensor is used for measuring distance. This
makes it possible to measure the amount of waste in the containers if one of the
containers is full then an alert message will be sent to the corresponding person.
5. INTRODUCTION
Today big cities around the world are facing a common problem, managing the city
waste effectively without making city unclean. Today’s waste management systems
involve a large number of employees being appointed to attend a certain number of
dumpsters this is done every day periodically. This leads to a very inefficient and
unclean system in which some dumpsters will be overflowing some dumpsters might
not be even half full. This is caused by variation in population density in the city or
some other random factor this makes it impossible to determine which part needs
immediate attention. Here a waste management system is introduced in which each
dumpster is embedded in a monitoring system that will notify the corresponding
personal if the dumpster is full. In this system, it is also possible to separate wet and
dry waste into two separate containers. This system provides an effective solution to
the waste management problem
6. EXISTING SYSTEM
• Manual systems in which employees clear the dumpsters periodically
• No systematic approach towards clearing the dumpsters
• Unclear about the status of a particular location
• Employees are unaware of the need for a particular location
• Very less effective in cleaning city
7. PROPOSED SYSTEM
• In this system, a 24x7 monitoring system is designed for monitoring dumpsters
• Here a smart and organized system is designed for selective clearing
• The ultrasonic sensor is used for measuring the level of waste in the dumpster
• DC motor powered platform is used for segregating wet and dry waste
• IR sensor and moisture sensor is used for separating wet and dry waste
• If either of the containers is full then an alert message is sent from the dumpster
• In turn, employees can clear the corresponding dumpster
• All these sensors are connected to an Arduino Uno board
• It can be used for controlling all mechanical setup based on current conditions
8. This system is designed for selective clearing The ultrasonic sensor is used for
measuring the level of waste in the dustbin
DC motor powered platform is used for segregating wet and dry waste
IR sensor and moisture sensor is used for separating wet and dry waste .
If either of the containers is full then an alert message is sent from the dustbin to
employees and the cloud. In turn, employees can clear the corresponding dumpster
9. CONCLUSION
This project will be very effective in managing waste in any big city. Rather than
using conventional periodic collection methods here priority system is used to the city
is clean all the time without any overflowing dumpsters. It has been tested and
verified properly to make sure all the different parts work together for a smooth
function of the whole system.
